System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that lets you update
system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When
executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and
software versions, then updates the appropriate software from a
central repository, also known as a file store. Driver versions that
are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the driver
download Web site and on the Support Software CD. To download
the utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit
